Term
cardiac output
Definition
The amount of blood pumped out of the ventricle each minute is called:
Term
venous return
Definition
The amount or process of returning blood back to the heart is called:
Term
none
Definition
The parasympathetic system has this effect on stroke volume.
Term
stroke volume
Definition
The volume of blood pumped out of the ventricle per contraction is called:
Term
heart rate
Definition
The number of cardiac cycles per minute is called:
Term
increase
Definition
A sudden drop in blood volume would lead to a/an __ in heart rate.
Term
medulla oblongata
Definition
Cardiovascular control involving the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems is centered here
Term
end diastolic volume
Definition
The volume of blood in the ventricle at the end of the filling phase is called:
Term
end systolic volume
Definition
The volume of blood in the ventricle at the end of the contraction phase is called:
Term
autoregulation
Definition
The local self-regulation of blood flow in different regions of the body is called
Term
fenestrations
Definition
Substances can move into or out of these capillary pores
Term
pre-capillary sphincter
Definition
This smooth muscle cuff regulates blood flow into capillaries.
Term
absorption
Definition
Because of the difference between hydrostatic and osmotic pressure, this fluid movement will happen at the venule end of the capillary.
Term
vasodilate
Definition
Increases in lactic acid would stimulate the arterioles to ______.
Term
lymph capillaries
Definition
Excess fluid and proteins in the interstitial fluid will be picked up by these vessels.
Term
filtration
Definition
Excess fluid and proteins in the interstitial fluid will be picked up by these vessels.
Term
vasoconstrict
Definition
An increase in the mean arterial pressure in arterioles will cause them to ____ in order to maintain the hydrostatic pressure of the blood entering capillary beds
Term
calcium
Definition
When extracellular calcium enters the cell, it stimulates the release of this ion from the sarcoplasmic reticulum
Term
gap junctions
Definition
Depolarization signals (ions) spread from myocardial cell to myocardial cell through these proteins structures located in the intercalated disks
Term
cations
Definition
As these enter myocardial contractile cells through gap junctions, threshold is reached causing voltage gated channels to open
Term
potassium
Definition
Just like in neurons and skeletal muscle cells, efflux of this ion is responsible for repolarization of myocardial cells
Term
sodium
Definition
Channels for this ion are first to open during a contractile cell’s action potential.
Term
auto rhythmic
Definition
These myocardial cells are mostly fluid-filled and are designed for generating and quickly spreading electrical signals
Term
calcium
Definition
The rapid depolarization of autorhythmic cells is due to the influx of this ion.
Term
QRS complex
Definition
This section of the ECG represents the depolarization of the ventricles.
Term
intrinsic conduction system
Definition
Also called the electrical conduction system, this system is responsible for generating and spreading the action potential throughout the heart
Term
depolarization
Definition
Note that myocardial ___ must occur before myocardial contraction.
Term
p wave
Definition
This section of the electrocardiogram coincides with atrial depolarization.
Term
t wave
Definition
This section of the electrocardiogram represents the repolarization of the ventricles.
Term
atrioventricular node
Definition
The electrical impulse is temporarily delayed at this step of the conduction system in order to allow the atria to complete the contraction
Term
purkinje fibers
Definition
These structures direct the electrical impulse from the apex of the heart up through the walls of the ventricles
Term
QRS complex
Definition
This segment of the ECG will be wider than normal if there is left bundle branch block. (You’ll need to do the end-of-module quiz to find this one).
Term
sinoatrial node
Definition
The depolarization of the heart begins at this cluster of cells located in the upper part of the right atrium.
Term
ventricular systole
Definition
During this phase of the heart cycle, the pressure begins to increase, closing the AV valves.
Term
semilunar
Definition
An increase in pressure in the ventricles causes these valves to open
Term
diastole
Definition
The relaxation phase of the heart cycle is called: (general term)
Term
decreases
Definition
As left ventricular pressure increases, left ventricular blood volume (increase/decreases). (Study graphs shown in this section)
Term
ventricular ejection
Definition
During this process, blood moves though the semilunar valves and out of the heart.
Term
systole
Definition
The contraction phase of the heart cycle is called: (general term)
